The first time I saw this, I thought it was hysterically funny, as I got a bit older, I decided it was mildly amusing, now I think it's sort of meh.

I guess I really just want to know how you feel about it ... amused, bored, offended.

It is only funny to the extent that people get offended by it. It's a bit outdated.

Scottish not British.

for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

I was not aware there was a dichotomy.

I got quite annoyed after the Haiti earthquake. A baby was taken from the wreckage and people said it was a miracle. It would have been a miracle had God stopped the earthquake. More wonderful was that a load of evolved monkeys got together to save the life of a child that wasn't theirs. ~Terry Pratchett

Kind of cute, but not as awesome as a Nuremberg Rally or anything.

offensive does not always make less funny. funny never makes less offensive. where either applies. the example cited however, fails miserably at being very much of particularly either.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

Also, I am a Christian. I believe in God, I believe that Jesus is God. There is no reason for my belief, but at the same time, it's also not blind faith

Blind faith is technically having no reason to believe, but believing anyway..

It made me chuckle and I dressed him up like Hulk Hogan, then I was done with it for the rest of my life.

Let's put silly clothes on a dead guy. Yay. Maybe not offensive, but a bit tasteless.

Neither offensive nor funny, just boring.
